Lifter, puller

Cops nabbed a shoplifter who allegedly pulled a store employee’s hair when the worker intervened on Dec. 13.

The clerk told investigators she saw the thief grabbing merchandise from the retail establishment on Broadway between Debevoise Street and Manhattan Avenue at around 12:45 pm.

When the worker tried to stop the suspect from making off with the goods, the 33-year-old woman accused of the theft grabbed the employee’s hair and struck her in the face, according to the District Attorney’s office.

Mail-ady!
